I assume this is just a bunch of markdown files you want to convert to RSS? I'm struggling to think of why you would want an RSS feed for a bunch of markdown files that were not part of a blog already? Svekyll (my svelte derivative of Jekyll) generates RSS as well. It isn't that simple, there are lots of validations that can break readers; this has taken quite a few bug fixes to get right:

FWIW: I wrote a post using Svekyll about AI embeddings which has a view source button at the bottom. If you click that, you can download a full svekyll blog and add the RSS code to the _config.yml and then just "npm i && npm run build" to see it generate the RSS for that complex post. Then, look at it in your feed reader to see how it escapes the HTML, code blocks, images, etc.

I can answer that first question: For my personal website I wanted to add some updates for different things. But making an entire webpage seemed a bit much and inconvenient for those that wanted keep up to date. So this solution is just less effort (if you subtract the time taken to create an application for it ;))

oh nice! do you support podcasts? (mp3 enclosures on RSS)

[Rush2112]

Today I added support for RSS enclosures. So you have full support for podcasts/audio formats.

It suppports links already. So it’s not a lot of effort to add this. Good idea will look into it!
